An auctioneer, or more precisely auction software, is only supposed to execute a ceiling bid as necessary. If no real bidder pushes you to your maximum bid, then you should win a lot for less than that amount. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way as some bids are illegally shilled up.

As far as postage is concerned, it is usually an estimate of what it will cost to ship your lots. Sometimes it may be a little more than that.
